The Franklin Mural Club, HJC and OXY ARTS are excited to invite you to a community celebration of the Franklin Mural Project

Taking place at the Occidental College campus, we'll have an afternoon full of fun including live screen printing, button making activities, and yummy food! We'll also have some special speakers who will share their experiences participating in the creation of the mural. This event is free, all ages, and open to the public.

The Franklin Mural Project was conceived in 2005 at Franklin High School, bringing together students, teachers, and local artists to preserve and share the Indigenous histories in Northeast Los Angeles. This project serves as a living canvas and visual record of local history and stories. In 2022, OXY ARTS partnered with Franklin High School to support this ongoing mural initiative on campus. 

This mural project is generously supported by the Ruth and Joseph C. Reed Foundation.
